Diving in Greece in August? Athens or Corinth or Nafplio or Loutraki?

[Wren Stewart Tidwell]

We (family of 4, including 2 boys, 12 and 16) are coming to Athens in August. Would like to dive. We are staying in Fragkolimano, which is an hour+ from Athens to the west, which is just south of Corinth. My googling has found the Crostaceo Dive Center, crostaceo.gr, up in Loutraki. Anyone have any experience with them? I also found a dive shop in Nafplio, nafpliodivingcenter.gr, but they haven't responded to my emails.

We are willing to drive to get to the best diving, even it means going back over to Athens (which is 1 hr+) from the house we are staying at.

Crostaceo in Loutraki is fine. I personally dive very often with these guys. Yiannis Liggos is the manager. Crostaceo is located in Posseidon Hotel, which is a resort with beach, swimming pool, restaurants, bangalows etc, so you may consider spending the whole day than just dropping in for diving (that's what I usually do ...) No need to come all the way to Athens for diving - actually many Atheniens go to Loutraki for serious diving. You may also check Tech Diving Team - which is also close to Loutraki.

Thank you dimfo! Can you send me your email address? I have trouble getting logged into this website sometimes. I go around in loops - resetting my password and it doesn't work.
